This woman adored her husband. She is holding up a photograph taken at her engagement to him, 64 years before. He just died this easter, and all she does is talk about him. Because she cannot do things without her beloved, she vowed never to go out to restaurants, cafés, or plays. The first thing she did when I entered her home was show me this photograph, which she keeps next to her dresser.

Very nice, I would love to sit and listen to her story. It is kind of neat that we can see you in the reflection of the mirror... it makes it real - like we are there while you were shooting...
I have a friend like this - she loves her late husband so badly - he passed away 23 yrs ago this Nov - she was only 50 - he WAS her whole life. I told her she should write a story - the world would read it.
This photo is nice - I am glad for you that it went HOT!! -
